<span>Each atom in an ionic compound tends either to empty or complete the shell to 8 electrons. So when the number of electrons on the external shell is near 8 , the atom tends to attract electrons to complete the shell giving a positive ion called anion
Conversely when the number of electrons is small the atom gives these electrons to form a positive ion called a cation</span>
Baking powder is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods. It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid–base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture.
The molar mass of CuCl2 is 134.45 g/mol; therefore, you divide 2.5 g of CuCl2 by 134.45 g of CuCl2 leaving you with 0.019 moles
